When it comes to operating a website, SEO and servers are important, but there is another thing that many people disregard nowadays. That factor is appearance. In order to fully entice people to spend time on your website and to promote your content, you need a good theme.

Thankfully, WordPress has a plethora of available themes to choose from. Unfortunately, there are several tens of thousands of them, making it hard to make a choice. Thus, we’ve narrowed the choice down to the top five.

Avada

There is a reason why Avada is the best-selling WordPress theme of all time. For five years now, it provides users with pre-included plugins and excellent customer support.

Unlike most themes, you actually get six pre-made website formats for you to choose from and apply. Also, you can easily customize it once it’s installed, without any limitations whatsoever.

The7

If you’re on the hunt for a more aesthetic theme, The7 might just be the ideal candidate for that position. It’s designed to be customized in any way possible, with lots of visual aspects that other themes simply don’t offer.

In addition to the design wizard, you get multiple pre-made website options to choose from. The7 gets regularly updated, so you won’t have to worry about security or performance issues.

BeTheme

When it comes to WordPress themes, it’s paramount that the theme isn’t too large. A too big of a size can drastically slow down any performance and decrease loading time.

BeTheme is designed for efficiency, is only 6 MB in size. Its specialization is premade websites – there are over 300 included with the theme, allowing you to simply choose your desired layout with a click. No work required whatsoever.

Enfold

A paramount feature of every theme should be mobile optimization. Enfold brings that particular feature to your homepage, as it possesses an ideal balance between a wide-screen desktop layout and a minimalistic mobile look.

There are always new demos included, with the most recent batch aimed at photographers and travel bloggers. A very compact theme, Enfold does an excellent job when it comes to highlighting both images and text content.

Flatsome

If you’re looking for an ideal WooCommerce theme for your sales-oriented website, Flatsome will fulfill all your needs in terms of content, functionality and customer support. It has the capacity to categorize all the different items you want to sell, with additional special features for discounts, promotions, and end-of-season sales.
